*********************************** FileDate Changer v1.1 Copyright (c) 2002 Nir Sofer Web site: http://nirsoft.mirrorz.

com *********************************** Description =========== The FileDate Changer utility allows you to easily change the Created/Modified/Ac cessed dates of one or more files. You can use this utility in all 32-bit Operating systems (Windows 95,98,ME,NT,20 00,XP) with Internet Explorer version 3.0 or above. Known Limitations ================== * On FAT file system, the exact time of the "Accessed Date" is not saved as the other dates. Only the date (dd/mm/yyyy) is saved. * The "Accessed Date" has a little tricky problem: With the FileDate Changer utility, you can modify the "Accessed Date". However , if you try to watch the "Accessed Date" of a file after you change it, You'll see the current date instead of the date you have just changed earlier ! The reason for this behavior: When you watch the properties of a file (in Expl orer environment), The "Accessed Date" is always changed to the current date by the operating system...
